Gente! (the title means "people") is the latest music album offering of the Afro-Brazilian band SambaDa, a band founded by capoeira master Papiba Godinho. The band's evolution from a Brazilian dance group is reflected in its energetic rhythms, which tap into the innate human desire to exult in movement. A heady swing beat marks these enthralling songs, which touch upon the essence of surfing/skating in their perfectly balanced headlong rush. An exciting treat for multicultural music shelves, highly recommended for anyone who loves a great dance beat. The tracks are "Iguana", "Balancou", "Dende", "Rabo De Arraia", "Sangue Africano", "Nao Va Embora", "Mare", "Meu Pai", "Casa De Mainha", and "Sangue Africano Remix".
